Pet care experience

Happy Pet Happy Life Provider

I've worked with a shelter back home. It was difficult work since it was poorly funded. I mostly helped sourcing funds for the shelter. My dog was very sick when we got him. He was diagnosed with parvo and distemper after 2 weeks of getting him. We took him to the vet and nursed him until he got better. I didn't sleep all night while watching over him the first few days before confinement and immediately after. I've cared for him for three years now. He's a healthy and happy dog. I've trained him and worked with his issues. He's a frustrated greeter probably because we didn't see another dog for months at a time during his puppy years due to covid. But he has made a ton of progress, he can now pay attention to me instead of barking at other dogs he can't say hello to. We still have a lot of work to do but we continue progressing every day. I believe I can care for and show your pet the love and attention that they deserve because that's what I provide my dog every day.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Every pet owner has their own set up. Whether it'll be walks and feeding schedules, naps, or play-time. What I do best is follow the client's instructions and stay connected to the pet so he/she wont feel alone. I can give them space but I wont be too far away.

Gab has looked after my cat twice now and was great both times. He's careful and follows directions closely--especially when it comes to medication. He's also gentle and patient enough to get my shy cat out for some pets. Excellent sitter.

I'd like to know the dog's personality, walk length preference, sociability/friendliness to strangers and other dogs, and demeanor during walks. Also, their size and weight are important to know and if they are food motivated and/or trying to diet. allergies. And lastly, if they have special needs.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
